I attempt the AAPs which are used for mood stabilization.
Trying Latuda now for mixed episode..
I have severe complex PTSD, which is more problematic when it's exacerbated than my experience with BP2. AAPs can help with this as well.
I have been vehemently against used of antipsychotics without psychosis, until I have seen it's sometimes the only way I can have a life, during severe exacerbations.
